The 125th meeting between No. 22 Army and Navy will mean a little more for both teams when they collide on Saturday in Landover, Md.
For the first time in seven years, whichever team wins the game will also secure the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy, the annual prize awarded to the school with the best record in inter-service academy play.
The Midshipmen (8-3) took the first step toward securing the hardware on Oct. 5, when they traveled to Air Force and trounced the Falcons 34-7. The Black Knights (11-1) followed suit on Nov. 2, churning out a 20-3 home win over Air Force despite playing without star quarterback Bryson Daily.
A win for the Midshipmen would snap a two-game losing streak to the Black Knights and bring the Commander-in-Chief's trophy back to Annapolis, Md., for the first time since 2019.
"It would just bring a whole new level of pride to a style of football that we've looked to get back to this season," Horvath said.
Regardless of Saturday's result, Navy will finish with its first winning record since going 11-2 in 2019. The Midshipmen will also make their first bowl appearance since that year when they battle Oklahoma in the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 27.
